The production of the original anime 'Level Robochika' (stylized as RE:BEL ROBOTICA) has taken concrete shape. As announced by the responsible publisher Amuse Creative Studio, the series will air on Japanese television in 2027. To mark the announcement, a teaser visual and a first teaser PV were released, offering an atmospheric preview of the near future.
The creative team is impressive: Shin Oonuma, known for the 'Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya' series and 'Princession Orchestra', serves as the overall director. Koki Onoue takes on the direction. The series composition is handled by Ryo Yoshigami, who was already involved in the original project and is known for his work on the 'Psycho-Pass' series. Kazuyuki Yamayoshi is responsible for the character design. The theme and insert songs are contributed by the acclaimed composer Yuki Kajiura (e.g., 'Sword Art Online', 'Demon Slayer', 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'). The background music is composed by Takumi Ozawa and Shiho Terada. The animation is produced at Studio Silver Link ('Mission: Yozakura Family').
The story is set in 2050 in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. In this world, so-called MR technology (Mixed Reality) has seamlessly blurred the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds. People enjoy a seemingly perfect, happy life – until the mysterious girl Lily appears. Her mere existence threatens to shake the entire order. The anime tells a completely new, standalone story, but one set in the same universe as the underlying multimedia project.
The 'Level Robochika' project has an unusual origin story: The popular illustrator Mika Pikazo (known for character designs in 'Fire Emblem Engage', VTuber designs like Kaguya Luna, and various 'Fate/Grand Order' cards) released the first version in 2017 as a self-published doujinshi at Summer Comiket. After the publisher ARCH became aware of the work, commercial development began in 2019. Science fiction author Ryo Yoshigami serialized the web novel 'Re:bel Robotica Episode #β' on the official website starting in January 2020. In 2022, two printed novels were finally released: 'Re:bel Robotica 0' by Yoshigami and a volume of the same name by Gakuto Mikumo, both published by Shinchosha.
The involved artists expressed their enthusiasm. Overall director Shin Oonuma promises to challengingly translate Mika Pikazo's 'beautiful and sensitive expressions' into visual language. Series author Ryo Yoshigami emphasizes that the entire team is working to reflect Mika Pikazo's unique creativity in every line and every dialogue. Composer Yuki Kajiura is delighted to be involved and raves about the 'radiant world' of the project. The teaser PV already contains an insert song contributed by Kajiura. Further details about the voice actors and the exact broadcast date are expected at a later time.
